Solo episode where we answer a listener's question. We talk about when Persian men date non-Persian women, what to look for if you are going to date a Persian man (as an outsider), why you shouldn't cast off all Persian women as crazy or all Persian men as trash, as well as explain the kinds of behaviors and stereotypes that exist (for a reason). At 37:08 Millie's brother makes a debut on the pod to give his input on the topic and share other reasons for why a Persian man would be inclined to act a certain way: for example, reassessing his behavior not as douche-y but rather as timid and unmanly, as a result of being ashamed.

Sorry for the clickbait title...in this episode, we talk about self awareness, coming off self involved, guilt about talking about yourself too much to your family, reverse manifesting or cheshm vs positive affirmations. We also talk about girls who try to humiliate you and put you on the spot in front of other people, girls who are specifically jealous of other women with big personalities and who are comfortable in their skin. Towards the end Natalie objectifies men and the two briefly discuss concerns of the derriere.
